Management Central is very picky about TCP/IP configuration, much more so than 
other servers. It seems to require that configuration be perfectly "correct".

The most common cause I've seen for this as that there is a mismatch between 
the configured TCP/IP domain information and the entry in the host table for 
the local system. Although the mismatch is trivial, it often makes a difference.

Make certain that the _FIRST_ host name defined for the host table entry for 
the local IP address matches the fully qualified host and domain name. You can 
have more than one host name defined for an IP address in the host table entry, 
but all of those after the first are aliases; and I don't think Management 
Central looks at the aliases.
